A position and orientation measurement apparatus for measuring the position and orientation of an image capturing apparatus, which captures an image of a measurement object, relative to the measurement object, extracts configuration planes of the measurement object based on three-dimensional model data of the measurement object, and extracts measurement line segments to be used in detection of edges of a captured image from line segments which form the configuration planes. The position and orientation measurement apparatus projects the extracted measurement line segments onto the captured image based on an estimated position and orientation of the image capturing apparatus, selects visible measurement line segments which are not hidden by the extracted configuration planes, and calculates the position and orientation of the image capturing apparatus relative to the measurement object based on the visible measurement line segments and corresponding edges of the captured image.

A method of evaluating astigmatism of an irradiation system irradiating an electron beam is disclosed. In this method, a figure pattern consisting of plural (for example, four) concentric circles is formed on a reference sample “WP” and an image (scanned image) is formed based on an electron signal obtained by scanning the electron beam onto the reference sample “WP”. In the scanned image, the image has a blur in a region with its longitudinal direction parallel to the generating direction of the astigmatism and the size of the blur depends on magnitude of the astigmatism. Therefore, the direction and the magnitude of the astigmatism of the irradiation system of an irradiation apparatus can be detected based on the obtained scanned image.

摘要:
A noise judgment unit of a receiver (mobile terminal) judges whether there is a factor for poor reception such as 1/f noise in a receiving unit of the mobile terminal based upon the output of an FFT unit, and notifies a transmitter (base station) of that measurement result. When the mobile terminal is affected by 1/f noise, the base station transmits a signal to that mobile station by an OFDM method without using subcarriers at which ⅕ noise generates.
